Any chance of letlive heading a stage on saturday? Please

[the wonderwhy]

I like how they have the two worst bands clashing with each other.

The Offspring are cool and Steel Panther are great fun, the rest can piss off...

A7X aren't clashing with anyone though

It's Soni's for the taking.

Feel bad for Copping. Pulled out two cracking lineups last two years trying to keep Sonisphere dead and now he's exhausted all the good acts he can use and is stuck announcing Status bleeding Quo - not that I think they're significantly bad but they're just too cheesy in this country now.

Andy Copping just asked me if comparing his lineup to V Fest was a compliment or not... Sigh.

[The Placid Casual]

They are, The Offspring.

[The Placid Casual]

And they have.

[well, unless you don't like what they have]

[SOAD]

Offspring vs. Avenged Sevenfold is a bit of a rubbish clash but will prob watch Offspring. Letlive, Crossfaith, In Flames, While She Sleeps and Trivium (the two set deal is very cool but the red bull set will be murder) will all be great also. Need to check out Miss May I, Blessthefall and Black Dahlia Murder properly. Not been much of a fan of what I've heard but need to check out more. Not a fan of Steel Panther. My step Dad will prob disown me for not watching Status Quo but definately going to be at Linkin Park.

[cornucopia]

I fucking hope Status Quo aren't 2nd stage headliners to Linkin Park

Come to think of it, what realistic bands would people have been pleased by?

Edit: apparently Trivium just headlining Red Bull :S

BMTH would have salvaged something at least.

[Yellow_Fellow]

So Black_Crow, what's that info you have?

[the wonderwhy]

And they have.

Ha ha! Status Quo would be soooo cheesy it would be funny! Would go for the craic if it wasn't £90 for a day ticket!

Looking forward to the undercard - more punk would be good - Anti Nowhere League again would be excellent!

[huntyyy]

I got told a while back that Bring Me The Horizon were doing Reading again (Main again) but I dismissed it thinking they'd have to be at Download, looking like they could be at Reading now though.

[SOAD]

BMTH may still play. Could be held back to be one of the big bands in the next announcement. They generally seem to split the second headliners/top three main over at least a couple announcements.

[The Placid Casual]

I've heard Trivium, Halestorm and While She Sleeps will be announced.

On the flip side, they have no reason not to announce them. They've no announced UK shows and have already been announced for festivals in Europe next year, so if they were going to be announced it would make sense to announce them now.

Also they're a ticket shifter, and Download definitely need to get ahead of the competition
